Whats your position on flag burning?

Those days are long gone, along with the original Jeffersonian democracy dying a rather painful death in the civil war, and corporations and lawyers progressively taking over the entire country over the century that followed. George Washington would be horrified, as would even Patrick Henry who was not shy about tar and feathering an innocent captain who was merely transporting cargo. Fuck America, it no longer exists, and I demand my vote and constitution be restored, before I will show them the least respect. You sold yourselves down the river people, and I encourage conservatives to eat each other alive and choke on your own rhetoric.

 

I for one am less suprised

 

no big deal to me..Only a peace of cloth..I wouldn risk my life to stop it from hitting ground

 

What's the problem ??? - just a bit of coloured cloth. So what if someone does burn one ??? providing the flames don't burn anything else - no harm done !!!

 

To them, its like spitting in the face of the Queen Mother. There are such things as insults, as hard as they can be to grasp sometimes.

 

Being a Republican, (not a US version though) I have no concern or respect for any of Mrs Windsor's brood whatsoever. I still say both the French and the Russians had the right idea when they dealt with their aristocracy !!!

 

I'm sure the Queen's guards let you near her to tell her yourself. Without wealth, pride goeth before the fall.

 

So burn the flag if you must, but before you do, you better burn a few other things! You better burn your shirt and your pants! Be sure to burn your TV and car! Oh yes, and don't forget to burn your house! Because none of that exists without several white stripes, several red stripes and a hell of a lotta stars!

 

Fuck that, after the banks put us 20 trillion in debt and walked away with a slap on the wrist, you are lucky if you can afford to rent anything, before the IRS comes around. You only think you own, because you are used to being in debt to your ears.

 

nit very smart

 

don't care for it; free speech or not, it's a symbol about which people fought and died so the many could enjoy their freedom in this country. if I were a flag burner, I would need to find other symbols.

 

Burn that shit.

 

*burns a flag*

Good, all my problems are solved now.

 

Then why can I find these things in literally dozens of other countries that are not America? Pretty sure I would have my pick of several pairs of pants in either Germany of Canada don't you agree?

 

Flag burning is actually a racist act by people who disrespect their own country's values and rights.

 

It's a meaningless gesture that is done only because some Americans put too much meaning on a flag. So much so ANY discussion is seen as an attack of Democracy. A wise man can love his country so much he speaks out on what is wrong.

Ironically if the Fox news types did not get mad no one would do it. Their emotion drives people to increase that emotion. It only works since they notice. An idea they seem to embrace with Trump.

"Don't piss us off or we will keep burning your flag" easily translates to "don't tell me a women is a man or I will vote for him again". You do and you think someone you don't like can't sleep at night. Ever notice how rare flag burning is elsewhere? It's because people don't give a shit.

If you don't salute it or you burn the magic cloth it will not freedom. Doesn't that sound silly? That is what these people are saying. Sounds more like what you give to a king not a Democracy.

In a world where Nazis are allowed since we can't possibly limit free speech your flag is burned. Don't like well then let's explore some hate speech laws. No Nazis and every magic flag is where it needs to be.

 

I dunno man, it just seemed appropriate to quote Nelson from the Simpson's.

 

Because it tells me that somebody really hates their country of birth along with the people living in it with them.
I think i recall reading about a banned member who does this to the aussie flag each anzac day.

Found this piece of info on it.
